New Nihonto Enthusiasts Club in Philadelphia

[masakatsu]

Hello All,

 

Just wanted to make an announcement that we are in the kick-off stage of re-forming the Nihonto Enthusiasts Club of Philadelphia, and we will have our first meeting in November.  Our hope is to generate increased interest in the study and care of Japanese swords and fittings.

 

The first meeting will be on Saturday November 23rd from 4:30 to 6:30 followed by dinner and will take place at the River of Life Martial Arts and Wellness Center.  The address is 321 Morris Road in Fort Washington Pennsylvania.

 

Please come if you can, or at least spread the word, as our intention is to grow the community.

 

Respectfully,

Matt

Great to hear that news! Post some pictures of the meeting.

   How about some contact info for future meeting, etc? I live in north central PA and know there are other PA Nihontophiles that might be interested. Thanks, John

Let me know if you need a sample of bylaws, Matt. I set up our sword club more formally when I was president, & still have the paperwork.

Congrats! Shame there isn't one in the Indy area.

[Ken-Hawaii]

Well, what's stopping you from setting up a club, Chris? Go for it!

[ChrisW]

The lack of interest in the area I think. If I could get like.. ten people in the area, that'd be pretty swell.

Chris, I am interested in attending but I can’t make the first meeting due to prior commitment. I live in central NJ but am willing to meet up. I am looking forward to the second of what I hope will be many meetings.
